I don't hate Kansas City

I'd agree that the "hate" thing is more prominent in youth.  Though, as an older dude, I find I still have it for the Patriots and Boston teams in general.  That almost feels like part of my DNA now.  But I can't say I really "hate" too many other teams (and another poster said it, but we're just talking sports hate - not real, vitriolic hate).

 

I did hate New England back then, but part of that was because they were so good compared to us. And what could you really say to Pats fans? They did win 6 Super Bowls in the last two decades... but since Brady has left and won another, you really realize how much of a factor he contributed to their success. And as a player, I respect him because he continues to want to play, even risking his marriage to play. I respect a guy like that. I didn't always say that. And I'm sure I'll get some vomit emojis too just for saying that, lol. Not to say one is better or not, I very much like the fact our fans are so passionate and have really helped make this one of the most intimidating places to come play. 

 

I went to the KC regular season game last year and the playoff game, the fans were nice during the regular season, before the playoff game not so much, but after the game every KC fan me and my friends encountered showed a lot of respect, complimenting Josh and saying how much they fear him more than anyone else in the league. 

 

That being said, I won't be at this game, but I am a fan of metaphors, so we're making spicy KC BBQ pulled pork sliders, so we can eat KC. 😈 Go Bills!!!

I did some work in KC a long time ago and enjoyed my time there.  They have a really good team right now - an excellent coach, a great QB, a great TE, and a front office that has aggressively put pieces in place to be successful.  They've won a Super Bowl with the current regime and have advanced deep in the playoffs many times.  I respect them as an organization and they have a passionate fan base.  I think that the Chiefs and Bills are the best 2 teams in the NFL by a pretty wide margin.  If the Bills win on Sunday (which I think they will), the Bills will be the better team for right now, but truly, until the Bills can beat them in the playoffs and win a Super Bowl, you have to give the nod to Chiefs.  I love the Bills, but I can also be objective.

 

As to 13 seconds, while the Bills definitely screwed the pooch, it can't be lost that the Chiefs made some great plays when they had to, and took advantage of the Bills' mistakes.

 

I hate Mahomes' brother and girlfriend/wife/baby momma, but they are really not significant.  Neither one plays for or works for the Chiefs.  The brother, in particular, should be nowhere near the field at an NFL game.

 

For the sake of the Bills' playoff seeding and home-field advantage, I root against the Chiefs.  I wanted them to lose to the Raiders, I want them to lose every week, and I want the Bills to crush them on Sunday.

Mahomes is one of the most fun players in the league to watch. You almost have to love that guy as a general fan of the game. It's cool that he and Allen have so much respect for each other and have said they're friends off the field.  I also have always liked Reid, and he really paid his dues in Philly all those years.  

 

I also see their market & history has similar to Buffalo.  Not an NFL darling, passionate & crazy fanbase.  Came up short for decades before finally having a team that can deliver.  And Patriots fans hate KC, so that has to count for something.

 

I find it strange that I don't hate them, because I usually hate any team that ends my team's season even once, and they've done it twice now.

 

Anyone else feel that way?  I have a feeling I'm going to get a lot of vomit reactions, but I was curious.

 

I lived in Kansas City for many years, and have an affection for the place and the people there. They are for the most part decent, open, midwestern folk not so different from people in Buffalo. I have never wavered in my support for the Bills, but I did become a fan of the KC Royals and that has stuck with me. 

 

Remember, before he was coach of the Bills, Marv Levy was head coach of the Chiefs.

I definitely hate Kelce.

 

Yeah, agreed. Kelce. I can't stand him.  He's so cocky and backs it up. It's like he's unstoppable and Mahomes is lucky to have him.

I live in Omaha and went to the regular season game last year. I also, don't hate the team. 

 

The fans were really cordial even in the loss, and had a lot of positives to say about the bills and Josh. 

 

I want the bills to beat them bad, but don't hate the team.

There’s so much insecurity in this thread.  
 

i like Andy Reid.  
 

I don’t hate Mahomes.

 

I don’t hate Kelce.

 

I hated Tyreek Hill.  Still do.  
 

I’m scared of Chris Jones.  He’s the only true difference maker on that defense.  He can ruin our offense if we don’t double him all day.  
 

One of my best friends is a KC STH.  We talk football all the time and I appreciate him and his families love for Mahomes and their team.  Reminds me of a less passionate version of myself with regards to Allen and the Bills.
 

This rivalry is amazing.  It would be huge if we could go 2-0 vs them this year and win a Super Bowl.  At that point, we’d be leading the rivalry.  2020 and 2021 seasons are less valuable that real time victories.  Get it done.

Nate Geary simping for Mahomes on a Chiefs Twitter account yesterday was enough for me to put him back on mute. 

 

Mahomes is great, and has the best young QB resume in the game.  It’s not even close.   However, in 2022, I’m not sure how any Buffalo Bills fan would take Mahomes over Allen.  
 

Mahomes is elite.  Has been elite.  Will be elite.  He’s been at that same elite level since jump basically.  
 

Allen took a while to develop and is now elite.  Will be elite.  …and I honestly have no idea what his ceiling is.   He’s improved year to year, every year.

I am old school. I don’t like any of the Buffalo Bills NFL opponents there the enemy. Even if the Buffalo Bills win 50 Super Bowls I want 51 Super Bowls for Buffalo. The opponent is the enemy always when the Buffalo Bills play against whatever NFL team we are playing. After the game shake hands say hello see you in the playoffs or next year type of thing win or lose. But not during the game that is ridiculous the Chiefs or any NFL team is the enemy when the Bills play them in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo

Mahomes isn't as bad as Brady but I'm almost positive he has a mirrored ceiling in his bedroom

 

We bought our second house from a builder who had put mirrors on the angled part of the tray ceiling in the master bedroom. There was also a mirrored wall opposite the foot of the bed. It was HYSTERICAL to show people our new house. Some people would look in the room, pretend not to notice and say nothing. Others would yell “WOOHOO!!!” and run and jump on the bed and check out all the angles. 

 

The adhesive holding up the mirrors was so strong you’d have to go in the attic and literally knock the drywall down to get rid of it, costing thousands of dollars to repair. We never got around to that before moving. 🤷‍♂️

I don't hate KC either, and generally cheer for them unless they are playing us. 

 

Why? I'm a big Andy Reid fan, and I also like watching Mahomes. 

 

Reid's offensive wrinkles are just fun to watch. 

 

I also have faith that this Bills team can beat them when it comes to it, so I don't go too crazy worried about records, although the #1 seed is huge for the bye more than anything else.

The Fans are the worst. 

 

The second worst are media members who all get the same talking points after the game. Analysis that is nothing deeper than reading box scores. 

 

And honestly, I'm petty, no way do I like that Josh is good friends with Mahomes. I like the Jordan philosophy better, I feel more like. He is trying to beat you, he has beaten you, there is no friends. I'm not playing golf with you the week after you beat me.

I don't mind them. There is only really one team in the league that I dislike and it is randomly the Eagles (although with Sanders, Hurts, AJ Brown even they have some guys on that team now that I like). 

 

I support the Bills and I am generally ambivalent on everyone else. I am not one who goes in for hating opponents. I think it is kind of the way I was brought up to do your best, support your side, but don't wish ill on rivals. I only ever want other teams to lose if it benefits Arsenal. I remember Manchester United winning the Champions League in 1999 and some of my mates being distraught and I just genuinely wasn't bothered. We (Arsenal) were out much earlier in the competition so it did us no harm.

I think it's just the way the younger generation operates.  And I don't think it really takes away your competitiveness come game time.  I have good friends that I'm crazy competitive with on the golf course, who I absolutely despise losing to in tournaments or money games, but at the end of the day we are still great friends and can grab some drinks afterwards.

The Chiefs are likely the Bills primary obstacle for a decade.

 

Mahomes is pretty much the NFL QB picture boy and the Chiefs touted as the model franchise……

 

…..unless JA and his teammates do something about it soon.

 

Allen is right up there with Mahomes as the NFL's new golden boy... He (Allen) gets more roughing the passer calls than almost any other QB

Don’t hate them at all either. Just hope they lose to us every time.

I agree. i was happy for him..... little did i know the whole fan base would act like they never had business losing a game for the rest of time...

Do you really think, if the Bills had the success that the Chiefs have had, that Bills fans would be any better? That there wouldn't be just as many Bills fans who would act like jerks about the team?

 

To imagine so is, in my opinion laughable.

What I can say is their fans are definitely welcoming. I have been there the last 3 times Bills went (13 seconds was so crushing!) and their fans are always super nice and the people there in general. Even walking around walmart, people in Cheifs gear would say "Welcome to Kansas City!" 

 

I actually felt bad cause I talk alot of sh*t to opposing fans wherever im at. It can be at the airport, in a store and definitely at games. They made it so hard to talk *****. They all kept saying how much they like Josh Allen. Made me keep my trap shut for how I dont like Mahomes. Its not that I dont respect his game or watvh him when i can, its just the same type of dislike I had for Brady. Its a rivalry thing.

I don't hate Mahomes, Reid, or Kansas City...but I did lose a lot of respect for them with how they handled themselves in the AFC Championship game 2 years ago vs. the Bills. Cocky, arrogant, rubbing it in the Bills' faces (and when they got a lot of help from the refs in that game too). I was so down on them at that time that I found myself actually rooting for Tom Brady for the first time in my life...and was glad to see Tampa Bay humble them in the Super Bowl that year. And I still don't enjoy seeing KC win. Don't hate them like I did the Dolphins back in the day, but really want to see the Bills knock them down a peg and take control of the AFC.

Interesting points you raise.  

 

The thing is, the Chiefs have had all winning seasons in the last 10 years since Reid took over as HC.  So some of their fans have become a bit insufferable.  It will happen here, too (or at least I hope it will); continuous success brings out the bandwagoners and entitled fans whose knowledge of football is "Hurrr Durrr We Great, You Suck".  

 

Of course, for a stretch prior to that they were their own kind of "dysfunction Junction" changing HC every 2-3 years and as much drama or more than OBD ever produced.

 

I think what I really hate is the hype machine around Mahomes as this God-like unbeatable figure and the announcing bias it brings.  Mahomes runs backwards 15 yds and makes a successful heave to convert a key 3rd down and it's all about how great he is or, if he's sacked for a huge loss, "they got him that time but it shows how he just never quits on a play".  Allen does likewise and "he's got to stop taking those sacks for huge losses".  That kind of chaps my grits.

 

Don't get me wrong, I think Mahomes would be a great QB anywhere, but in KC he was given the keys of a finely tuned sports car that was not being driven to its potential by Alex Smith.   He had a decent run game with Hunt, he had Hill, he had Kelce for two 1000 yd receivers the previous years.  He had a solid OL with entrenched starters at LT, RT, and C.  The Chiefs had a decent mid-pack defense Mahomes first starting year, which they worked to improve.  But the narrative is "Oh Mahomes

 

Reid slugged at it in the trenches for a long time before he won a Superbowl.  I'm not sure what year, I think it was 2016, Reid and the Chiefs lost a close game in the Divisional round after they were 12-4 on the season, and an analyst - I think it was - Tony Dungy was fired up.  Said very bluntly the Kansas City Chiefs might win a Superbowl, but it wouldn't be with Reid as their head coach.  It was harsh.  I think Reid took a "continuous improvement mindset" and went through his decision making process top to bottom and changed things.

 

And to their credit, the KC ownership stayed the course and didn't kick him to the curb as "not quite good enough to get us there", and they have been rewarded.

 

So overall, I suppose I don't hate them, but I do hate some of the media coverage of them.

 

And I hate some of the "mulligans" they get from the refs.

The fans act like they hand scouted Mahomes, were so convinced he would be great that they barged into the KC Front Office and changed their mind to take him when they were going to take someone else. 

 

Like the Patriots, they start acting like because they grew up in Kansas City that they "know what good football looks like" or they have "high standards" and "don't accept losing".

I "hate" them because they have something what we don't. SB.

 

If we win one, it will allow me to see things differently.

 

That's why I already don't "hate" Patriots. We killed them last year in WC so they became irrelevant to me. Win SB and I won't care about the Chiefs too.

This is right. 

 

For example, I'm not happy for the Philadelphia Eagles.

 

Why would I be happy for the city of Philadelphia winning a Super Bowl before Buffalo? 

 

If the Browns made it to the Super Bowl, why would I root for them to win a Super Bowl before the Bills?

 

So I watch their fans celebrate, meanwhile I'm on the shrinking list of teams that have never won one?

Personally I don't hate any NFL team, even the Pats during their NFL/AFC East dominance the greater part of 20 years.

 

And regarding the Chiefs/Mahomes, that feeling is pretty much the same other than maybe Travis Kelce who seems like one of those smug ahole types that you'd love to punch in the face. But then again when you are on your way to being the best TE in NFL history it kind of comes with that territory. Also think Chris Jones is one of those dirty type of players too but he's a top 5 defensive player in this league.

 

But in the bigger picture, if the Chiefs fulfill the trajectory I think their on which is becoming the next Pats/Brady situation have to imagine a lot of Bills fans aren't going to be pleased especially if it means no sustained SB runs or a lombardi trophy in Buffalo and we are just second fiddle to the Chiefs every year. That is why this Sunday is the first step in terms trying to alter history, or simply accepting the inevitable.

In my other (lenghy) post, I forgot to mention that I have a co-worker from KC who is a big Chiefs fan.  He stopped by my office on Monday to tell me that 1) the Bills are great; 2) Josh Allen is awesome; and 3) he's very concerned about Sunday.  He's a good guy that loves his team, just like I love mine.  He knows good football when he sees it and respects it.  He seems like a pretty typical Chiefs fan and I can work with that.  Very different from obnoxious Cowboys, Raiders, Steelers, and Dolphins fans whose arrogance and false sense of superiority is tied to things that happened 20, 30, and 40 years ago.
